The Old Talune
MAKES HER LAST VOYAGE. A USEFUL PURPOSE TO SERVE.

It is expected that the working days-at Waikokopu will be greatlv increased by the shelter to be provided by the sunken Talune. Mr. F. N. Thompson, resident engineer for Public Works, left Napier for Waikokopu this morning to supervise the operations.
